My Chick won't be quiet. It's irritating the family!

My chicks hatched last week. They were VERY loud for 2 days and then stopped. And now they are loud again. REALLY loud. It's very irritating. I don't know the problem! they have heat and it's not too hot or too cold. They have food, clean water, everything! Why won't they all be quiet??! All of them keep screaming at the top of their lungs like something's wrong, but I can't find anything wrong.

Yup, check the temperatures. They may actually be too hot -- they needed to be warmer when first hatched, but as they grow, their bodies are larger and put out more body heat, and they need less external heat. So, what was comfortable a week or two ago might now be too hot for them. You should lower the brooder temp about 5 degrees each week until it is no longer heated at all. And as they get older, you may need to make the brooder larger so they have different temperature zones they can move to to warm and cool themselves to help regulate their body temperature.

I agree with ranchhand...usually if they peep constantly there is a prob and usually has to do with a heat issue. Put a thermometer in there and see what the temp is. What sort of heat lamp do you use? I use a 250 watt red hea lamp and mine are never noisy at all. Playful peeps here and there but nothing annoying.

i checked the temperature and its been 88 all day so i don't know what's wrong. i have 2 thermometers. one right under the lamp and one in the shaded area. the one under the lamp says 91 and in the shady area its 85, so i don't understand.

Also want to add that in my experience, a loud chirper when everything is right and everyone else is fine, hardly ever makes it. The few times they did make it was when I could help them, but as many know... there is very little you can do for a chick, some just arrive unthrifty.
